I’ll start with the pros. It was easy to make a reservation, after hours check-in is easy, the sites are decently sized, bathrooms are clean, and the woman working in the gift shop/office was friendly.
Unfortunately the cons definitely outweighed the pros here. Upon arrival to our reserved site we noticed somebody was already in our spot, when the camp host came over to check in on us he acted like we were an inconvenience. He verified that is our spot and while he could make them move we would then be placed next to the rest of their party that were camping next door. It was clear he was strongly discouraging it and just wanted us to move somewhere else. He told us how these people have been coming here for years and it was clear we were the outsiders. The original site we reserved was in a secluded area and the space they moved us to is right next to the trail tent campers use to get to the bathroom and next to the rec room they have. The tent campers on the other side of the trees from our site have had live bands playing off and on throughout the day. If the campground knew this was going on they should have forewarned us upon reserving the site. In the photo below our original site was supposed to be next to those tents in the corner.
Update: Randy came and chatted with us this evening and made things right. We will be giving this place another shot due to him. It sounds like this weekend was just a fluke and we’re excited to try this place out again.
